Reviews

  • 김 from South Korea (8/10)

    After reading reviews and hesitating, I checked other site reviews and finally decided to stay here. I was very satisfied. The front desk was friendly, the room was very clean, and the entire house was artistic. I loved the ordinary daily life in this quiet residential area. Also, the owner personally runs a cold noodle and dumpling restaurant right in front of the alley. Highly recommended.

  • Margot from New Zealand (7/10)

    We stayed twice once in an upstairs room (the stairs are steep to get there) and once in a first floor room. Both rooms were clean and adequate although small. Close to eateries and a 15 min walk or less to the train.

  • Ramaswamy from India (9/10)

    Host was very kind and accommodative.

  • Xiaoxiao from China (7/10)

    Nice host, location convenient, quiet.

  • Rozaini from Malaysia (7/10)

    The host is friendly and helpful.
    We enjoy our stay there.

  • Victoria from South Korea (8/10)

    Lovely quiet location near Hongdae, and a nice design of the building made it a good stay.

  • Elena from South Korea (8/10)

    The paintings in the rooms, lobby, and living room were lovely. Overall, it's quite artistic. The en-suite bathrooms in each room are very convenient. The front desk staff was extremely friendly. Our family even had a New Year's party in the second-floor living room. It felt just like home. I highly recommend it for family trips.

  • Noam from Israel (1/10)

    The location was good.

  • Anonymous from South Korea (8/10)

    The front desk staff, Kit from Hong Kong, is kind and friendly. The room is warm and very tidy. I had a comfortable Christmas stay

  • Li from Russia (8/10)

    Первое, что действительно удивило меня, это встреча с русскоговорящим персоналом в Сеуле и их невероятно теплое гостеприимство. После прочтения некоторых отрицательных отзывов перед бронированием, я сначала сомневалась в пребывании здесь, но вскоре поняла, что приезд сюда был отличным решением.

    Сама комната была замечательной, с чистыми белыми простынями, которые не только были безупречно чистыми, но и излучали уютное тепло, создавая ощущение домашнего уюта. Лаунж на втором этаже также оставил глубокое впечатление на меня. Он был настолько комфортным и хорошо спроектированным, что казался более привлекательным, чем моя собственная гостиная, с современными художественными произведениями, добавляющими уникальное очарование и гармонично сочетающимися с уютной атмосферой.

    Еще одним запоминающимся моментом был опыт обеда в ресторане холодной и горячей лапши, в котором работают русскоязычные корейцы. Еда была не только вкусной, но и предлагала отличное соотношение цены и качества, что явно отражало любовь и преданность владельца.

    Я искренне рекомендую это место. Это не просто место для проживания; это опыт, который предлагает комфорт и шарм тщательно продуманного пространства, заставляя вас чувствовать себя как дома. Если вы ищете уютную комнату, интересное искусство или вкусную еду, вы найдете все это здесь. Это пребывание оставило на меня неизгладимое впечатление, и я уверена, что оно произведет такое же впечатление и на вас.
